Document Summary
Learning: any relatively durable change in behaviour or knowledge that is due to experience. Phobias: irrational fears of specific objects or situation and are often the result of another leaning process termed classical conditioning. Conditioning: involves learning connections between events that occur in an organism"s environment. Defin: a type of learning in which a stimulus acquires the capacity to evoke a response that was originally evoked by another stimulus. Pavlov was one of those who was responsible for turning psychology from research focusing on subjective accounts of experience, introspection, to a more objective, rigorous, scientific approach. His work showed how stimuli in the external world controlled our actions and behaviour. He de-emphasized the mind, and mentalistic accounts of behaviour, and shoed how learning was under the influence of experience and that associations could be built up in consciousness. Subjects: dogs that were restrained in harnesses in an experimental chamber.
